The Doctoral College have organised a focus group on what it's like to do a PhD as someone who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, or belongs to another gender/sexual orientation minority group.

In February the Queering University programme launched the 'Understanding LGBTQUIA+ Student Experiences' project, in pursuit of a better institutional understanding of LGBTQUIA+ students' experiences at the University. Whilst we are still undertaking further analysis on the data, we wanted to share the project's initial findings across eleven key themes with the University community at this point.

Nick Cherryman and Sam Parr are running a series of trans-led focus groups on the use of deadnames in the University context, with the aim of writing up guidance to inform best practise for the University.

The first annual LGBTQUIA+ student experience survey is now live, helping us to better understand and support the needs and experiences of our LGBTQUIA+ student community.
